"The color of her skin was like an almond." (Stokes 13) This is an example of a simile because the author is describing her using like. That is a simile showing and describing Parvati introducing her into the book. 
2. "She smelt like a whole freaking garden of flowers." (Stokes 15) This is a simile describing Parvati again. It tells us that she smells good and helps the reader get a good understanding of her.
3. "Her eye lashes were so long, almost like a birds wings." (Stokes 61) This is personification because the author gives something non-living a living characteristic. Saying that her eyelashes are long enough to be bird wings.

This shows a simile because it is using like describing his laugh. ]]> 2017-05-13 01:07:15 UTC https://padlet.com/cbates5305/s3p0yc332k04/wish/171590875 cbates5305 https://padlet.com/cbates5305/s3p0yc332k04/wish/171591951 TOP 10 MOST CRAZY PLOT TWISTS/QUOTES.

Why I chose this list:

I chose this list because I found myself almost every chapter mind blown because i was so caught off guard. The book expressed a great job keeping the reader on his or hers toes reading this book. Because of this I thought this was very important. Because Paula Stokes did this the book really caught my attention and had me reading for hours at a time. That is why I picked the list of the top ten plot twists.

Why this image goes well with my list: 

I picked this image for many reasons. I feel that in the book there was so much danger. When it comes to guns drugs and even death, it is all in this book. Danger is also a theme in my book so i thought it was a great image to put. That is why i chose to put this image.]]> 2017-05-13 01:54:51 UTC https://padlet.com/cbates5305/s3p0yc332k04/wish/171591951 cbates5305 https://padlet.com/cbates5305/s3p0yc332k04/wish/171592048 Symbols and Motifs

One of the motifs or symbols in the book Liars Inc. is the idea of foster homes. Throughout the book Max is explaining his time in a foster home. Preston was also in the foster home and the ending of the book is based on a foster home. "Why does Preston have a picture of rosewood?" (Stokes 229). Because of the symbol of the foster home in the beginning it keeps coming back up throughout the book.

My second symbol or motif in the book is a gun. When it comes to Max shooting one, being shot at, or hit with, they are all over. "I feel the blunt tip of a gun poking into my side" (Stokes 213). This is just one of the examples with a gun being expressed. Because the gun has caused and has been brought up many times the gun is a symbol in Liars Inc.]]> 2017-05-13 01:59:38 UTC https://padlet.com/cbates5305/s3p0yc332k04/wish/171592048 cbates5305 https://padlet.com/cbates5305/s3p0yc332k04/wish/171592654 Image: https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Flh6.ggpht.com%2FJWk0waKYxAVbuIavYsRimLK3859m_s-MWJpSXkoQ8ejLpPvge_iF_xHiomfMAgYb1oF-%3Dw300&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fplay.google.com%2Fstore%2Fapps%2Fdetails%3Fid%3Dcom.sas.danger&docid=G_sWmdiwPAro2M&tbnid=Bnw8Xg4RuLmNiM%3A&vet=10ahUKEwiNmMGC6evTAhXk34MKHa67DycQMwhbKAEwAQ..i&w=300&h=300&bih=654&biw=1366&q=Danger&ved=0ahUKEwiNmMGC6evTAhXk34MKHa67DycQMwhbKAEwAQ&iact=mrc&uact=8
